Nesta I Gone Fuh Now

None of us wanted to break this news

Eff we cud help it we wunt be this cunfuse

She was a good critic, colleague and friend

This is a great blow to hear her final end

All her constructive criticism kept us on our toes

It made good writers better and made friends from foes

Got no chance to tell her but I believe she knew

Our appreciation is further than the north winds blew

No Bajan was untouched by her in some way

Even the very young listened to all she would say

For all that she have done with her literary skills

Unspoken rights she voiced and exposed legislative ills 

Her endless contributions through satirical comedy

North America she made like a next door neighbor tuh we

Our Sympathy to friends and family but diz all space goin’ allow

We gine catch up latah so Nesta, I gone fuh now
